Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 13, 2023

Oh. My. God. They are making an arc based on a previous gag, that is so goofy.

So let me guess now, Nate is gonna pretend to be a Taylor Swift fan in an attempt to be popular?

6/10 not the most interesting

1. Making an arc about a previous joke is genius and 2. When will Francis learn not to say certain things around nate

Great, Nate’s gonna follow Teddy’s footsteps

Methinks Mr. Peirce isn’t as in touch with middle school popularity as he thinks he is

I like that this arc is referring to a previous one, feels like there’s some continuity and reminds me of some of the older arcs that connected

Peirce used a punchline from an arc that ran weeks ago, and turned it into an arc. This can’t be good.

3/10 Not a good idea to base a story off a pop culture reference. Also, it would have been funnier if he was a KPOP fan, and then he started being toxic to everyone.

Nothing on earth is worth putting yourself through that, Nate. Don’t do it!

I could guess this could lead to a variety of things but I’m not too sure.

remember last week when i said the detention storyline was stupid? It was as though Pierce said, “challenge accepted.”

I was a Swiftie in grade school…a Tom Swiftie.

cue the ominous music

uuuuugh another boring arc of Nate being a garbage excuse for a human being.

That doesn’t work, want to be popular, learn to dance.

As a Swiftie myself, I also feel like I’ve drawn a lot more attention to girls in school recently. Just talking about Taylor Swift, and stuff like that. I actually recently finished her entire discography, which is nice.

Strip rating: 5/10 We already know what Nate is gonna want to do. I’m giving it a higher rating because I also love Taylor Swift.

Oh boy somthing gonna go wrong here _

Who is Taylor Swift & should I care?

….where’s the surprise? This ALWAYS happens when Fran-Man opens his mouth within Nate’s earshot…….

Why can’t girls appreciate somebody who is actually cool? Like, Taylor Swift? Really? Why not some rapper, actor*?

I’m a fan of Tom Swifties.

i lovb po

Typical. Nate pretending to be something he’s not for the sake of people who never really cared about him anyway.

me personally I am a Phil Swiftie.

Can relate.

Oooookay no thanks

being popular just for being a fan really i didn’t get that

It’s sad how people praise celebrities. They aren’t a god, they’re an entitled person.

personally I hate taylor swift that just my opinion

bruh.

This seems like a fun arc. :)

What year is Peirce in??? The last time I’ve heard somebody talk about Taylor Swift was 2018!

His secret? He’s not an oblivious Tool like you Nate!

Haha here we go again

She’s a hottie with a good voice. Got nothing to lose…..

This can’t end well.

oh no

L teddy moment

Yeah actually I definitely talk to guys just cuz they’re swifties… it’s so cute of them though

nooooooooooo not teddy too

Taylor Swift is kinda overrated now, but I mean not all her songs suck. We still have the songs from her peak years.
